We all know that we have so many great devices that are coming out in China. However, many of them don’t have Google Play/Services pre-installed out of the box. Sometimes, there is an easy way to do it, other time you have to wait for a particular workaround.

Of the devices that need to get Google Play installed manually are Letv Le, Le 1 and Le 1 Max. They are all beautiful devices with some killer specs sheet, but this shortcoming is something users in the West can’t live without. In case you missed Letv Le 1 (One/S1/X600) review, you can check it out here. Also, please stay tuned as I already have the Le 1 Pro in my hands and working on another review.

A lot of you guys have asked me how to install Google Play Services on Letv smartphones, so I decided to make a short tutorial video to help you out. Make sure to watch the entire video as you need to follow all the steps carefully.

Step No. 1 would be that you have to download the Google Installer apk and sideload it on your Letv smartphone. The link is in the description below this video on Youtube.

Once you’ve done you have to install the Google installer app l as you would install any app.

Once the installation process is done, you have to open up the app and select Google Play app to install. Then you will receive a message saying that you don’t have Google Services framework. Here you have to click ok and select the install icon located on the bottom then select continue and wait till all the apps shown in the list are downloaded. Sometimes it may take a few minutes, just let your device rest for a while.

Once the apps are dowloaded you will be prompted to install them one by one. It is very important to select install option for all the apps except for the Google Play store at this stage. Once you are asked to install Google Play Store, you have to click cancel.

As soon as the installation Google Play Services, Google Account Manager and Google Services framework is done, you have to close the application and reboot your device.

After you have rebooted your Letv smartphone, you have to launch Google Installer app again and then select Google Play from the list, download it and install it. Once you’ve done that, you have the Google Play Store with all the Google Services up and running on your device.

What you want to do right now is set up you Google account and start downloading the apps you need.

However, you will receive a Google Play Services error message and will be prompted to update it. You have to do that immediately to make sure the apps are running smoothly.

Some other things I recommend doing is to install any third party keyboard like Google Keyboard as the preinstalled one has too many Chinese aspects in it. In addition, I downloaded the Google app to make sure I have the best Google integration possible.

LeTV just unveiled three new smartphones in its One lineup and all the three models cater to a different set of users. While the LeTV One features a compact 5-inch display, the One Pro and the One Max cater to the customers who would like something bigger.

The LeTV One Pro comes with a 5.5-inch display which has become the standard among flagships and the One Max comes with an even bigger 6-inch display. Both the large screen models feature 2K resolution screen which should deliver crystal clear image quality and a color gamut of over 85%.

The mid-range One is made out of plastic, however the top end models are made entirely out of metal which gives it a premium look. The One Pro looks similar to the HTC One series phones while the One Max looks a lot similar to Huawei’s Mate 7 flagship. These two were one of the best looking phones of last year, so its not surprising that they look so good.

The One Max and the One Pro boasts of a beautiful bezelless display. Although we are hearing rumors about bezelless phones from all major manufacturer these days, LeTV is one of the first established ones to release such a remarkable lineup in the market.

A new leak reveals the three new smartphones that will be announced by the Chinese media giant, LeTV. This is the first time we are seeing all the three models, together in one picture. Earlier leaks have showed us two smartphones, the LeTV X600 and the LeTV X900, but this one confirms three new devices from the company.

You can see from the picture, that there are three LeTV phones, one with a plastic design and the other two with a metal design. The plastic LeTV model will probably be called as the LeTV One, the other two as the LeTV Pro and the LeTV Max. It is said that the largest LeTV model will have a 6-inch display. From the image, it looks like this LeTV Max model could be lying on the extreme right with a fingerprint sensor at the back. Interestingly, the LeTV Max does look a bit like the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 flagship, especially with that small square fingerprint sensor at the back.
